Reposted from H.I. Sutton via Reddit Cutaway view of USS Halibut. Not so long ago, this was classified. Times, they are a-changin'. Warning: HUGE image ahead! Any of you guys have any UNCLAS stories about Halibut?

Halibut found the wreck of K-129 ~15,000 ft down about 1500 nm NW of Pearl. This presaged Project Azorian in which at least a portion of K129 was recovered. That mission earned one of Halibut's Presidential Unit commendations.

I had forgotten about Halibut's involvement in that. Thanks for the reminder!

What little I know about her, I have been told never to mention, or better yet forget that I know anything. I guess that is still in effect.

Thanks for that cutaway. It always amazes me to see a two level living sub. Our 2nd level was the bilges, which could be considered my 2nd level of living...

So, Joe. What you are saying is you were what was commonly referred to as a Bilge Rat, which in some quarters is a badge of honor. Kudos . . .
The Halibut was a Helluva Boat. And it must have had a helluva crew, too. I read about the adventures of the Halibut in "Blind Man's Bluff", much of which was a revelation to me. Radically different from anything I experienced. But, very impressive. |
